A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.

Good to be Home 
really?!!! i LOVE this. and i noticed the little sister’s finger nails too. 🙂
I love it too!
Wow
not sure if this is rich or one of the older boys, but what a man!!! :))so sweet~
Oh, that is cute! Did he do good? hehehehe …
What a pretty foot! And how kind of the one applying the polish!
@grace_to_be – Hi Amber-dear…..it’s Rich, painting my toes for me! He always does a great job. 🙂
Shanda, I have been watching the news and praying that y’all are not in that school district. How terrible it is – praying God’s blessing on your Christmas.
@lizdavis10 – Thank you so much, I’m in tears here….I just got done watching the news and learning about the shooting. That town is an hour or so away from us so my childen are fine. But I cannot wait until they are home.
How nice! My hubby always cuts my toenails for me. I love him so much! This picture really does “speak.” Love it!
I can’t quit crying for all those precious children. I immediately thought of you,too, and your precious family. So thankful your all O.K. God help all of us. How we need Him.
Love the picture of Rich painting your toes. So glad to hear that your children are okay. I immediately thought about you.
Just came crashing over here to check on the only family I know in Connecticut. Unspeakable horror! I feel so frozen inside that I hardly know what to feel. God have mercy!
what a sweet pic! and I too came over here to check on you guys! glad to hear you are okay! such a sad, sad day for so many…..
I couldn’t stop thinking about your family so I’m glad you posted in your comments that you are all safe. I’m not sure if I’ve ever commented on your site but I so enjoy your posts and your inspiration to others as a Godly wife and mother. Take care….we are praying and pleading for God’s goodness to wash over all those involved.
I just heard the news and prayed that this was not in your school district — my heart aches for the parents involved in this terrible scene and I was thankful to read that your children were not involved. I came here to see if you had posted anything.
Love you Shanda and your dear family. So glad you are all OK. Tears and prayer. Rich is a dear hubby. I do a terrible job on my toes…perhaps Bob would do better. Bob was stringing the tree lights last night, something David and I usually do. He was just staring at the tree for awhile and I asked him what was up. He said he was figuring out how to make clips that would make the job easier. I said, “perfect, design and sell those they should make a mint”!
I thought you might be near where this tragedy occurred and couldn’t wait to get home to check and make sure you and the family were ok. Prayers to the victims families. I just can not imagine.
I was just checking on you and your family too! Glad to see you are all ok. Sweet, sweet photo. Merry Christmas to you all!
how cute
I’m so glad your children are safe!!!!! And the picture is amazing!! Honestly I thought it was your oldest boy! They grow up so shockingly fast. What a caring husband!
